Hi,
Is the anyone on here who has tried hypnotherapy to lower their libido?
The sex life my wife and I have is non-existent (twice in 18 months). We are both relatively young (mid thirties and in good shape) with 2 kids who are 9 and 6, both great kids, they don't argue much, love each other to bits and are really easy to look after (plus they sleep like the dead!!).
I work a night shift and feel I do more than my fair share, I do all the shopping, cooking, cleaning etc but that doesn't bother me, I like being kept busy. Her job is more stressful and it does keep her awake at night.
Having sex or doing anything sexual is something we just don't do anymore, we laugh, joke, kiss, cuddle and tell each other we love each other every day. We are genuinely best friends.
The only thing missing is intimacy and it is beginning to get me down.
We had a tough 12 months when she told me that her feelings for me had changed (this coincided with a very busy period with her through work), she hated the pain I was in and felt very guilty but I hated being the person I was to have made her feel that way in the first place.
We've gotten through that and our marriage is back in track, I basically retreated into my shell and tried my very best not to piss her off! The thought of being away from her was terrifying and the relief when said she loved me again was unbelievable.
But there has still been no development in the bedroom, like I said, we kiss and cuddle but nothing else. My confidence is shot to pieces and struggling to recover, I'm scared to try anything or even suggest the idea of something as simple as a naked cuddle!
My sex drive is high, masturbating just frustrates me even more and I have no intention of looking elsewhere.
If I can just rid myself of my sex drive I'd be more than happy, I just don't want to want sex anymore!
Does anyone else feel this way and what have you done about it??
I'm particularly interested to hear if anyone has used hypnotherapy.
Sorry about the long post!
